5 bed detached house for sale

Lew, Bampton, Oxfordshire OX18

Warren House is a substantial (4,392 sqft) period house with versatile accommodation and a large garden in the heart of West Oxfordshire.

Build of mellow Cotswold stone, the accommodation is arranged over two floors and is notable both for its scale and adaptability. At the heart of the home is the exceptional south‐facing kitchen, breakfast and family room, a striking modern space flooded with natural light and designed for everyday living as well as entertaining on a larger scale. Measuring over 38 feet in length, this room forms a natural hub of the house, with direct connections to the garden and adjoining living areas.

The kitchen space is complemented by an additional conservatory, also enjoying a southerly aspect, which provides an additional reception area bathed in sunlight throughout the day and offering a seamless connection between the house and garden. The more traditional part of the house retains a wealth of character and charm, with well‐proportioned reception rooms including a drawing room, dining room, sitting room, games room and study. These rooms offer flexible use and provide quieter, more intimate spaces that balance beautifully with the contemporary elements of the house.

A utility room and extensive storage further enhance the practicality of the ground-floor accommodation. Upstairs, the house continues to impress with five generously sized bedrooms, all well laid out and flooded with natural light. The principal bedroom suite benefits from excellent proportions, a dressing room and en-suite facilities. The remaining bedrooms are served by well-appointed bath and shower rooms, making the layout ideal for family living or hosting guests, offering comfort and privacy. The balance of bedroom sizes and bathroom provision underlines the house's inherent flexibility and long‐term appeal.
